• Where can I find information about what a straw sale is?
  A straw sale refers to a situation where one person purchases a firearm on behalf of another person, typically to circumvent legal restrictions. This practice is illegal because it involves making false statements on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Form 4473, which requires the buyer to affirm that they are purchasing the firearm for themselves. If a gun shop owner suspects a straw sale, they are obligated to refuse the transaction and may report it to authorities. For more information, you can visit the ATF's official website.

• Where can I find out when insurance companies conduct background checks on their drivers? Is it the same as a full background check?
  Insurance companies typically conduct background checks on drivers as part of their underwriting process, which may include reviewing driving records. You can request a copy of your driving record from your state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or equivalent agency, which usually includes information relevant to insurance purposes for the past five years. This is distinct from a full background check, which often encompasses criminal history and other personal information. For criminal records, individuals can request these from their state police or law enforcement agencies. In Virginia, for example, you can obtain criminal records through the Virginia State Police. Additionally, active warrants can be checked through local law enforcement websites. For more information, you can visit the Virginia State Police website at https://vsp.virginia.gov/.
